Mama Bear **Flying Unicorn January KOM**

My mojo left town sometime in October and I've been searching for it frantically ever since! Well I finally found it all wrapped up in the Flying Unicorn January KOM, Carpe Diem! I love this kit, it is fun and playful and different from the papers I usually turn to. It was just what I needed to get my creative thoughts flowing! The kit features papers from the collections of BasicGrey Serenade, Pink Paislee Portfolio, and Fancy Pants Country Boutique.

The summer of 2010 my husband and I spent in Alaska which is my favorite place in the whole world! On our way home we stopped in the tiny Alaskan town of Hyder to view bears at Fish Creek. Hyder is completely surrounded by Canada and if you don't fly or boat in, the only way you can get there is by driving through Canada. There the Forest Service operates the Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Site where one can stand on a platform overlooking the creek and observe black and brown bears fishing for salmon that are spawning. It was just magical to be able to observe the bears in their own habitat so up close and personal!

Great outdoorsy layout! I have not been to Alaska, but you have heightened my interest in going some day. I live in Canada, and we observe black bears at the dump close to my parents' house. It is fascinating! Anyway, this layout is a total fave. for me.

I love it! My mojo left too - what a fab layout to come back with! I love the touch of snow on the flowers and those are 2 lindys that I don't have - the look is so cool - what an awesome photo too! FAV
